Bio
Formed during the summer of 2012, NYC-based Prays the Kid is the culmination of five years of songwriting, collaboration and soul searching by singer / songwriter Paul Kelleher. Picking up a beat up $75 nylon-string Yamaha guitar for the first time in 2006, Paul started writing and performing original songs that carried with them an instinctive southern grit influence. Collaborating with long-time friend and guitarist Nik Kanodia, they wrote, recorded and performed early cuts of songs that now reflect a soulful blend of folksy blues and modern alternative.
Feeling the urge to take things further, Paul and Nik recruited Marcel Hamel on bass, David LeBlanc on drums and Matthew Watanabe on Keyboards and have been putting up high energy performances at various venues around New York City while developing a steady following and fan base.
Paul's songwriting and the Prays the Kid sound continues to evolve as they consume a multitude of various new influences. With a deep vocal range, expressive lyrics, haunting melodies and blurry diction, Prays the Kid delivers a sound that often reveals their biggest influences which include Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Andrew Bird, Joy Division and The Strokes.
